How to jump to var and struct definitions using clangd via gd/gD in project?

[longintlong]

在一个项目内部，很多变量结构体都提示unknown type，或者gD 跳转不过去，请问是需要配置什么东西吗

Can u help fill in the issue form? This discussion provides too little information, and we can't infer the problem from a simple description. Instead, we need a specific environment (e.g., which server?), steps to reproduce this issue, and relevant logs to know exactly what the problem is. Such a bald description is not helpful at all.

抱歉
我的环境是fedora 36， nvim master，mason install clang ，gcc version 为 12，下面这张图是复现的问题，discard_sector_alignment 这个变量，我想查看这个变量在结构体中的定义，所以我使用 gd，但是右上角lsp 提示 def 是 nil

Which branch are u using? ur local branch seems to be a lot behind the remote (we don't have a 'master' branch).

Can't repro this:

A common cause of this issue is u didn't provide a JSON Compilation Database. Please refer to clangd's documentation and the pinned issues for more information.

btw, u don't seem to have the required font installed correctly. u may download ur desired font here or via Homebrew Cask Fonts, and then select the font ending with Nerd Font Mono (e.g., JetBrainsMono Nerd Font Mono) in your terminal's custom profile.

branch 0.8，您的这个例子是在同一个文件，我又做了一个简单的测试如temp.cpp 和 temp.h，.h文件定义了struct A，在cpp文件中 gd 确实是可以找到的。
我的实际场景是在一个project中，您的意思是需要在我的project中添加json compile database吗？

感谢提醒字体，这个应该不会影响我的跳转，我之后会下载，现在刚开始使用vim，有许多快捷键不清楚如何使用。
再次感谢您的项目

好的，那我尝试拉取main 分支的最新代码

[CharlesChiuGit]

try 0.9 branch

我尝试了main分支，出现了同样的错误。安装脚本中 clone 的是 main 分支或者 0.8分支

ys. This is the only way clangd can understand complex code trees. VSCode doesn't require such configuration b/c it has already generated this file for you (usually via rizsotto/bear).

Make sure to read clangd's documentation before u start :)
